Re: How to check if a key is currently down ...

Peter,

Sorry for the late reply, I got a bit distracted with another project ...

> Maybe store a flag with GM and do your action on the next page if it is

If I can do that (store a flag into GM space which survives page changes) 
than I can probably do with the already available catching key-state change 
events (or the 'User Script Commands' below).

> That behavior can also be implemented by a simple button anywhere on the

I only realized that after I conceeded that getting a keystate isn't 
possible and started looking for other possibilities.  Heck, I've already 
used a similar method elsewhere (capturing mouse clicks) ...

> The 'User Script Commands' were removed in GM 4.

I'm (still) running 3.17 (on FF 52), and yesterday saw that it indeed does 
work.   Bummer though, I assumed them to be some kind of page-local hotkeys, 
not a Alt-T, G, C, {my key} sequence.

Thanks for the info about it though.  Might come in handy elsewhere. :-)

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
